Actually, for debugging, you may want to try
knoppix debug
as boot option, which will display kernel messages with the full debug
log, and drop you to a shell at various critical steps in the boot
process, so you can debug the boot process quite easily.
Unfortunately, I did not think of adding a boot option for saving the
kernel boot log yet, but if you boot with "debug", you can just change
/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig or easier, delete
/etc/syslog-knoppix.conf before init even starts.

Thanks for testing and reporting bugs. As you can see, there is still a
lot of room for improvement. :-)
